Sigh.
I saw The Happening and I can't say I was anything but sorely disappointed. Not as disappointed as I was with The Strangers though.
I'm practically as liberal as it gets, but I'm tired of Hollywood throwing hippy BS at me in their movies, especially when it's marketed as NOT having anything that could be construed as "preachy".
M Night Shamalamabanarama I think has fallen completely into the deep end.
The Sixth Sense - Great
Signs - Another good one
The Village - Not as good
Lady in The Water - ???
The Happening -
On a better note, I thought Marky Mark did a decent job of acting. I also liked that Zoey whoever chick who was played his wife.
This had the potential to be SUCH a good movie being that it was R rated. But instead it was just a steaming pile. Talk about an anti-climatic ending. I thought M. Night was known for having all these crazy twists? But this wasn't a twist, it was just frustratingly weird. The best part of the movie was trying to figure out why people would just willingly kill themselves. As soon as we figured out found out why, I immediately stopped caring because I couldn't find that shit plausible. (Maybe it is?)
Otherwise, I didn't really get anything out of this movie.
